- Has maps, pictures and information on locations and attractions (including address, opening times, web address, how to get there, history &/or other pertinent information)

Review by: Peter Gray on March 04, 2012 :
I found this travel book to be a very interesting read. You feel as if you are actually travelling with the writer and it has some useful insights and entertaining descriptions of historic places to visit. I would recommend it whether you intend to visit or are reading it just out of general interest.
